Some guy is streaming Smash Bros Ultimate 2 weeks early and is sharing pirated downloads
- Thread starter Ben Walker
- Start date
- Status
That's because
- Rockstar were super fucking strict on who could get copies of the game. We only started getting leaked footage like 3 days before release.
- People who got early copies were less likely to dump the game because PS4 hacking is not as widespread as Switch hacking
- Firmware
I can safely say that 90% of the people playing this right now already have preordered the game.
For casual players who hacked their Switch, it will look like a fishy file from some random guy.
Leaks happen all the time, especially for a big game like Smash. This will not impact the sales in any significant way.

Having respect for Sakurai's and the dev team's efforts is bootlicking now?
Took the words out of my mouth. I hope this guy gets the legal hammer right on the crown of his head.
That hack also has not been released, and the team who cracked it will not be releasing the key at all. This has nothing to even do with that either and all this post is, is a drive-by shitpost.
These pirates are on older firmware to begin with and likely never going to update from what they have. Going online means a full console ban.
It's not like spoilers matter for Smash so why does this get extra attention? We should be ignoring this shit.
It doesn't matter if it impacts sales, it's still illegal and it's still shitty that they get to play it while those who abide by the law don't
Eh, this is huge news so it woulda made its way here anyways. I think it just sucks for legit consumers that they have to wait 2 weeks while pirates get to play right now. Whatever though, this is just par for the course with Nintendo releases
'member Skyward Sword and BotW?
The worst post of the day competition is really heating up
That's not how things work, and you'd be pissing off anyone that wants to go physical and retail stores as well.
...this has literally nothing to do with the "hacking scene" whatsoever though. Y'all are really ignorant, jesus.
About that...
...
A defense force for piracy showed up. It didn't even make it past the first page. Amazing.
Sakurai was right about not doing those expensive cutscenes haha.
no one says that.
no one says that.
True (I think), but still a rather shitty thing to say they would.
That's really not fair at all, a lot just use homebrew/emulators. Saying that people who use the console they purchased and have the right to do as they wish with it are automatically pirates is really shitty.
I thought this guy just a got an early copy like other people have?
RIP nvm its a rom he dl.
Awkward
I have no idea if this is true or not
But I sure hope it is, I hate all hackers for any reason lol. Would be hilarious as hell
/hbg/ discord. not going to link it here for obvious reasons but this is getting really interesting ngl. people who are downloading smash atm are fucking idiots lmfao. just buy the fuckin' game.
lol
I think the guy on stream linked in post 2 here just said he was playing a downloaded copy too? lol
What's the point of defending people in a thread about established piracy inherently though
safely say? Also, You mean 90 percent cancelled their preorders. Why save a preorder? Let's be real. They'll Just download another ROM to preserve it....
Sad to see this happen. Sakurai and his team worked hard on this. People just don't care anymore. I hope Nintendo is on this.
Probably did. I'm just pointing out that it seems like he's ok with sharing the NSP if he had it. I didn't hear it myself. Just going by what That Belgian Dude said he witnessed on that stream is all.
about the emulation part... I mean let's face it, some people who champion emulation also pirate through that too
Is it though? I mean, who's confirming this, except randos on reddits or chans? I _wish_ it's true though.
And some people who use voice chat scream racial slurs at other players
What's your point?
Ever since the fake LGPE ROM, there are some who are wanting to get into doing that and even devising more crueler methods. Like Vestan mentioned, timer based ones, where the game could run fine but on any sudden day your system will get bricked. And the person won't even know what caused the bricking either because it's timer based and plenty of things could happen during that time period of you installing the game to it finally bricking, say, days later.
